Layla and Imran planned the most amazing wedding! It started at Chicago’s finest luxury hotel, The London House Hotel and ended a few blocks away at the Chicago Cultural Center! The Cultural Center was designed in a neoclassical style over 100yrs ago and we are obsessed with every beautiful architectural detail, including the Tiffany & Co. dome ceiling.

One of my favorite photos from their day was during their ‘first look’ – Layla’s face holds so much emotion and happiness as she heads towards Imran, all in front of the beautiful Chicago River backdrop!

Big shoutout to City Girl Events for perfectly coordinating the day and Divine Deisgns for the beautiful florals!

Rarely do you meet two people so beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. I had the pleasure of meeting Chelsea years ago when she modeled for an editorial I was shooting in LA and I was honored when she reached out about capturing her wedding at Chateau Cocomar!

We didn’t think twice about flying out to Houston for their fairytale wedding!
